Course Description
The changing climate has an ever-growing impact on human health. As physicians-in-training, medical students should be introduced to this subject early to provide more effective and informed care in their future practice. This dynamic two-week course will teach students how climate change affects human health, how we as physicians can respond to and minimize the effects of climate change, and how to effectively communicate these problems and solutions to patients, communities, and lawmakers. Students will complete preparatory readings and videos before discussion sessions with other students and faculty members.
